About this ebook

Free Epic Fantasy Adventure - Power is back and no one is prepared...

Echoes of the ancients' power are distant memories, tattered and faded by the passage of eons, but that is about to change. A new dawn has arrived. Latent abilities, harbored in mankind's deepest fibers, wait to be unleashed. Ancient evils awaken, and old fears ignite the fires of war. When a Catrin Volker, a teenage horse trainer, inadvertently fulfills the prophecy of the destroyer, she becomes the most feared and hunted person on all of Godsland. With the help of her friends, she must convince the world that she wants only peace.

Pros - comets spun into religion, good idea. Cons - remove characters' names from dialogues, and you get one huge monologue, absolutely no difference in their manner of speech; if a character transforms - it happens out of the blue, no logical development; misuse of quite a few terms ("...reached a crescendo", for example); poor, mainly verb-based narrative, (they went there, and saw this, they got scared, and decided to run away). Somewhere in the middle this book defeated me, alas.

The first half of the book was exceedingly boring, I've tried reading this book so many times and I normally just give up. I finally made it through out of sheer stubbornness. It does eventually get interesting but it wasn't worth it to get to that point. The story was very confusing and jumpy and left a lot of unanswered questions. There's so much information that this young farm girl knows that most people with a college education wouldn't know today. Overall, the story was boring, confusing, and not worth the time or effort.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book & look forward to finishing the rest of the series! This is my first exposure to Author Brian Rathborn, and I am impressed. His writing is compelling and he makes the storyline interesting and fast paced, and yet easy to follow. His characters are so well written that I can easily picture them. They practically walk right off the page! I also really appreciate his command of the English language. His characters have no trouble expressing a full range of emotions and fairly complex ideas without resorting to swearing! Overall this is a very enjoyable read for young adults of all ages!!

About the author

As a teen, Brian Rathbone had a hunger for Young Adult Fantasy and Epic Fantasy that could not be satisfied. He would hide out in his secret place for weeks and perch on his choice of straw bale thrones with plenty of books to read. It was a spiritual and sometimes emotional journey filled with thieves, wizards and dragons.

Years later, after failing to get a job as a wizard, he channeled that passion to create The World of Godsland YA fantasy series, which also includes multiple free young adult books. Call of the Herald, the series starter, is one such freebie.

Rathbone gives away many Free Young Adult Books in order to let readers sample his work at no risk to them and so those without a large reading budget can enjoy an epic adventure.

Brian's books are inspired by many of his favorite tales Including The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. His journey as an independent author has largely been influenced by writers like Joseph Lallo, Scott Sigler, Jeff Wheeler and Nathan Lowell.
